If you have your intake of the car, and there is a hole in the valley between where the heads mount just in front of the distributor, it is their for oiling the cam gear and came from the factory there. Often looks like someone smacked the block with a hammer in the spot.

Do you have any pics? Fastback311 is probably right, there is an oil hole there that looks like someone took a hammer and punched a hole through the block because it is not a clean smooth hole.
